ARURAKU vs CM Python With Fun

ARURAKU is an educational visualization app that helps you understand algorithms by watching them move, not by reading about them. Sorting, searching, and recursion come alive in animations that advance one step at a time. [ Algorithms ] Sorting (6) - Bubble sort / Selection sort / Insertion sort - Merge sort / Quick sort / Heap sort Race Mode runs two to four algorithms on the same array side by side, so the difference in complexity is obvious at a glance. Searching (4) - Breadth-first search (BFS) / Depth-first search (DFS) - Dijkstra's algorithm / A* Watch how each pathfinder spreads through a grid maze. Tap to edit walls, or generate a new maze. Recursion - Tower of Hanoi (3 to 8 discs) - Fractals: Koch curve, Sierpinski triangle, recursive tree (adjustable depth) [ Features ] - Colors and motion show what is happening: comparisons in orange, swaps in green - Speed control, pause, and step-by-step execution - Array patterns (random / nearly sorted / reversed / many duplicates) and element count - An explanation for every algorithm: how it works, complexity, strengths, weaknesses, and real-world use - No ads while an animation is playing - iPhone and iPad - Available in more than 70 languages (follows your device language) [ Who it's for ] - Students just starting to learn programming - Anyone preparing for IT certification exams - Engineers who want to sharpen their feel for complexity - Anyone who simply enjoys watching things move [ Pricing ] ARURAKU is free. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions, and every feature is available from the start. To support development, the app shows ads, for example at the bottom of menu screens. Ads are never shown while an algorithm animation is playing. You can choose whether to allow ads based on your interests (personalized ads) at any time from "Ad settings" on the home screen. The first information-systems title of the Raku Series.

You learn programming by programming, not by reading. CM Python with fun takes pupils from year 9 onwards from their very first lines of code to their own small games – right on iPhone or iPad, no computer, no account, and no internet connection required. Every lesson follows the same clear pattern: a short explanation, see an example, change it yourself, write your own code, see the result, understand it. You never read for long – at most a minute in, a task asks you to type something yourself. THE LEARNING PATH Ten stages, complete from the ground up: from the basics (print, variables, arithmetic) through decisions, loops and lists to functions, strings, dictionaries and error handling. Stage 9 brings five complete projects – hangman, tic-tac-toe, a quiz app, a text adventure, a rock-paper-scissors tournament – built in checked stages. A bonus area adds classes & objects, list comprehensions, recursion and searching/sorting. THE PLAYGROUND An editor with syntax highlighting and a console for your own programs, plus turtle graphics for patterns and drawings. A whole set of ready-made templates is built in to get you started – from "Hello Python" to the new Mandelbrot Gallery, which uses turtle graphics to show new, randomly chosen, multicolor sections of the famous fractal, one after another. The trace view shows step by step what your code is actually doing – ideal for really understanding a bug instead of just fixing it. ERROR MESSAGES YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ Python error messages are often cryptic for beginners. CM Python with fun translates them into plain language and points exactly to where in the code the problem is. BUILT FOR THE CLASSROOM Teacher mode: unlock every stage instantly, create your own tasks with starter code, a solution, hints and automatic checking, export the whole class's progress as a CSV. Several pupil profiles on one device – each with its own progress, badges and programs. ALSO INCLUDED Revision with quiz cards and a command reference to look things up. Progress tracking with points and badges, a PDF completion certificate. Interface and learning content fully bilingual, German and English. Light and dark mode, adjustable text size, checked with VoiceOver. Built-in manual with full-text search. A dedicated exchange format for programs and full backups, with optional iCloud sync. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Everything is stored locally. No registration, no internet connection required, no advertising, no tracking. Python runs in an embedded interpreter right on the device – not on a server. The app is completely free. There is no in-app purchase and no locked content.
